TonyGol Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi I would like to jump on the bandwagon for this GB. Have got a few Eduard kits in the loft that I may use. Cheers Tony.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Now got to try and get a photo on Now there's a challange. Given the amount of photo's of the 190 that are available, let's see how many of you can post one of the aircraft you are doing. It may even inspire a dio or two.

rowmk9 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Rowan. Are there going to be catagories (1/72, 1/48 e.t.c.) or just one big one?Steve p.s. I have another prize to donate, but I'll PM you later. Hi Steve - I got your pm, great stuff! At the moment it is just a free for all, but yes there does some to be a good deal of interest and possibly splitting up the entries into scale categories is something to consider. I guess it depends if people would prefer that? I'm open to people's ideas on the matter. Right, I've also a few new entries to put on the list. Welcome to all the newcomers, the countdown continues to FW-Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikmuntz Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hey guys! I'll join...don't have a kit yet but it will most likely be the Eduard 1/48 kit. Not sure what variant, I love the early variants but it depends whats on the market for cheap! But I'd also love to do the red striped bottom as sported by a few D9s. We'll see!

Basosz Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yeah I can do a 190 I think... two actually. I can choose from: - Tamiya 1:72 Fw190 A-3 - Revell 1:48 Fw190 G-8 A-8/R8 I shall decide in due course what to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Oh BUMS! Just picked up the Airfix 1/24 FW190 for doing Lixfeld's Mushi. Before it turns up I checked my instructions from a previous one. Now I thought I would need to scratch build the wing bulges for the MG108's. Not a problem as they are just shaped rectangles. And the armour panels are easy enough. However, the kit does not have the bulged cowl for the fuselage MG151's, so that would have to be scratch built as I don't think there is an AM one available. Bugger, bugger, bugger. The only option I can see is to do one of Sturmstaffel 1's early A-6's (probably Vivroux or von Kornatski) or scratch build the bulged cowl. Nothings ever simple, is it? Any suggestions? Or do I just chicken out and use Hasegawa's 1/32 A-8? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksdad Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I think I have solved the problem with the 1/24 kit. While I digging around in the box for the Trumpeter 1/24 Dora for the Ta152 that has just been put into the KUTA IV GB I came across the bulged cowl for the Dora that was not used because of the conversion. I've had a quick check and the fit at the back is ok but the front needs extending. This will not be a problem as I should be able to graft it onto the Anton one. What a relief!

rowmk9 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) That is a relief Steve! It will be great to see Lixfeld's aircraft done in 1/24 scale. Also, welcome to Basosz for joining in, and Alisair that Eduard box set of the night fighter 190 looks sweet.

jacksdad Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 That is a relief Steve! It will be great to see Lixfeld's aircraft done in 1/24 scale. Tell me about it. All I need to do now is get in touch with Ian at AdAstraMasks to see about some of his lovely product for the 'Muschi' writting and the Wilde Sau shields. Speaking of the Wilde Sau shields, I have colour side profiles that have the background in yellow and a set of the Eagle Strike decals with it in white. Can any of the BM Experten give me their opinions please. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Speaking of the Wilde Sau shields, I have colour side profiles that have the background in yellow and a set of the Eagle Strike decals with it in white. Well, I've done some more digging around and I have come to the conclusion that the shield background is white. If you look at this photo it is clear that the shield background is much lighter than the 12 which is yellow. As I'm hoping to do two builds for the GB there is a possibility that the second one may not get finished. So, what would you guys rather see and I'll do that one first. The Mistel or the Sturmbock?

tank152 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yes i'd go for a white Wilde Sau shield as well, like you say as we know the number is yellow and the shield is far lighter in tone in all the photos of the aircraft. It is also shown as being white in a colour profile in the stunning JG300 "Wilde Sau" Eagle Editions book. Why not try Mals Masks for your masks.

tank152 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Right then, i'm thinking of jumping aboard this Group Build. If I do i'll be building a Ta152c, well i've got to build one some time haven't I! Anyway it'll be the Dragon one that i'll be doing and so that means chopping the engine off the kit fuselage which is the Ta152H and replacing it with the supplied Ta152C unit. My question is will I be able to do the cutting before the start date? The speed that I work i'll never get the kit finished in time if I don't.

Quite a few GB's allow entries that are a maximum of 20-25% started. However, it is up to Rowan and H on this one. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancfan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hi folks, this will be my first GB here. Have not decided exactly which FW(s) I'll build but it (they) will be 1/72 scale and I will try to make it (or one of them) a little different if I can find an unorthodox subject. David.

shelfspace Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Have a Hobby Boss 1/72 Dora near the top of the stash and the captured Soviet scheme on wp might be fun. Certainly won't be pristine. Only trouble is, as it's a Hobby Boss kit, some people might consider it to be more than 25% finished before you take it out of the box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) I am in as well. I am thinking of a 1/32 hasegawa Fw-190A5 converted to a A3 or A4 (or maybee even a A2) from the Montex set. Cheers Arnold After doing another groups build (for IPMS Netherlands) I will combine these two build. So I am going to make even a earlier version. It will be a A1 version. It will be the A1 with a shark mouth from JG 1. Edited December 22, 2011 by Arniec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basosz Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Also bought Hasegawa's 32nd FW190F-8 Tankbuster but I think that's a prototype. Looks ace though so I might do all three so I have three scales on the production line. That would be kinda cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
